Snare of Love

Chapter 150: Still with His Temperature

He curled up his lips into an ironic smile. “It’s quite hot, isn’t it?”

Dolores followed his gaze and looked down at her dress. Then she found that the lifted hemline of her

dress for the sake of driving hadn’t been pulled down.

She was about to explain, but Matthew pulled the door of his car open. He fetched his suit jacket and

put it on her shoulders. “Get in the car.”

She wondered when he took off the jacket as seemingly she could still feel his temperature on it. The

jacket also emanated his unique scent, which smelt cold and nice. She liked it.

Dolores bent over and get in the car. She recalled that Terry had been to her store. Then she asked

casually, “Terry said you asked him to delay the cassation, didn’t you?”

Matthew cast a glance at her. “Did he come to you?”

Dolores knocked honestly. “Yes, he did.”

“It’s not good timing now.” After all, Sampson was just put into jail. If they disclosed that Maria was

relevant to a homicide case, they would completely become the enemy of the Herbert family.

It wasn’t because that Matthew was afraid of the Herbert family. Just they had their own rules in this

circle.

However, Matthew had sensed that Landon was quite unhappy with him last time. He wondered what

evil things Landon would do behind him next.

“No worries. It wouldn’t end up with anything definite. It’s just not the time yet.”

Dolores was relieved. Although this matter was relevant to her, it was not so important as to Terry. After

all, his older brother was dead in this incident, who didn’t deserve death even if he had made a

mistake.

Matthew held her hand in his palm.

His wide and thick palm seemed to have a magic that could comfort her. Dolores gradually calmed

down.

“When the time comes, you don’t need to show up in person.” Matthew had planned that he would ask

Terry to go to the court by himself.

One of the Herbert family’s sons had been sent to jail already. If their daughter went in, it would be a

slap on their faces.

They wouldn’t be able to suppress the anger. Whoever would be a person in charge would become the

revenge target for the Herbert family.

He couldn’t bear to make Dolores the target.

“Okay.” Dolores didn’t overthink that much as he did. After all, Maria and she had already become

enemies long ago.

She felt a bit tired, leaning against the back of the chair and closing her eyes.

Silence gradually blanketed the compartment. They didn’t chat any longer, lost in their own thoughts.

Suddenly, Dolores seemed to recall something. She turned to look at Matthew. “How’s Beulah Shawn?

Have you found anything? Why did she appear so suddenly? Was she directed by someone?”

Matthew looked away with his sparkling eyes. He said flatly, “It’s still under the investigation.”

For Beulah’s death, he didn’t want to disclose it, so she wouldn’t overthink.

He would look into the cause of her death and who was behind this.

Dolores nodded. Leaning against the back of the chair, she continued to rest. Right then, she felt

vibrant on her cell phone. As if she got the electric shot on her hand, she shivered. Looking down, she

swiped to unlock the cell phone screen. Another photo was sent over, on which it was she who took

over the money from that old woman.

Then she received another message: “You’ve taken the money and sold your body. Then you got

pregnant unexpectedly. Don’t you want to know who the father of your child is?”

Dolores’ hand couldn’t stop shaking, uneasiness surging in her heart. She hurriedly typed a line: “Who

are you? What’s your purpose? How do you know this matter?”

This time, without any hesitation, she pressed the send button.

“What’s wrong?” Matthew sensed her bad mood.

Dolores couldn’t help but breathe fast uncontrollably. She lied again casually, “Theresa was texting me

about something on work.”

Matthew didn’t suspect. He glanced at her face. “If you need anything, just let me know.”

“Okay.” Dolores looked down.

How could she be able to tell him about this matter? Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Telling him that she had sold herself?

Selling her body?

She didn’t know how much evidence the person had in his hands. She was so afraid that her dark

history back then would be disclosed in public.

Especially he would know it...

Essentially, she was quite uncertain about Matthew and she couldn’t trust him.

There was a deep and wide gap between Matthew and her.

She always wondered if he truly didn’t care that she had lost her virginity.

Would he not care since she had given birth?

He just avoided those topics purposely.

It was not that he didn’t care.

He just deliberately ignored those matters.

Soon, she received another message.

Dolores tabbed it to read.

“I’m a party.”

Those simple words were like a thunderbolt above her head.

A party?

Was the person the man that night?

Dolores panicked.

At this moment, Maria was sitting in a booth in a bar, her unfinished drink on the table.

Curling up her lips, she sent another message: “Whenever you want to meet me, just contact me. I

heard that your store is opened today. Congratulations.”

The uneasiness had become deeper and deeper, fully occupying her whole body. She knew nothing

about the other party, but the other party seemed to know everything about her, including what was

going on around her.

She felt as if her life was peeped at, which sickened her a lot.

It meant that such kind of a person existed, who could always jump out, walk to her, and disturb her

current life.

While she was lost in thought, the car was parked at the villa.

There was another car parked next to them, which didn’t belong to Matthew nor Dolores.

Matthew got off the car. When he saw the car parked aside, he frowned, looking more and more

annoyed.

“Good evening, Mr. Nelson.” Thomas was standing at the door waiting for him instead of staying inside

the house.

Seeing them come back, Thomas walked up to them immediately.

“What did they come here for?” His voice was slightly cold.

The old couple seldom came over. They suddenly came here without informing him ahead of this time,

which made Matthew quite unhappy.

Thomas smiled. “Yes, they have something to tell you.”

As he spoke, he turned to look at Dolores. “This must be Mrs. Dolores.”

Dolores kept silent.

She didn’t know how to respond to such kind of title.

“Please hurry up and go in. All of them are waiting for you in there.” Thomas walked to open the door

for them with a smile.

Dolores stood motionlessly at the spot. She looked at Matthew. “Have your parents come here?”

Matthew didn’t answer. Obviously, they did come here.

“They seldom came here.” His tone was deep with a subtle sense of rejection.

For some reason, Dolores felt so panicked. Although she had met Victoria, she hadn’t met Matthew’s

father officially yet.

She felt so nervous as if an ugly daughter-in-law was going to meet the parents-in-law.

Seeing her hesitate, Matthew walked to her and grabbed her hand. “I’ll be with you. Why are you so

scared?”

“I’m not scared.” Dolores retorted.

However, she did feel nervous.

She wondered why they had come here.

In the bar…

Maria took a sip of the wine. Feeling quite bored alone, she picked up the phone and sent two photos

to Dolores. This time, she didn’t send Dolores’ photos, but the photos of Samuel and Simona.

They were taken in the recent few days.

She had been well-prepared this time.

She knew that what Dolores cared the most was her two children.

Now they were staying in Matthew’s villa and followed by bodyguards whenever they went out. She

didn’t have any chance to do anything, but she could take their photos in secret.

She gulped down the wine in the glass and sent out a text message.

“Your children look so cute. They look like you as well as their father.”

Dolores’ cell phone vibrated again. She tabbed to read the message and became panicked after

reading it.

How could the person have the photos of Samuel and Simona?

Was he watching her?

Her life track was exposed to a “stranger”, which made her hair stand on end.

Especially it was related to the security of her children, she couldn’t stay calm any longer.

“What’s the matter?”

Dolores suddenly paused. Matthew looked back at her.

She stared at him and fell into the silence for a few seconds. “I have forgotten something in the store. I

must go back and get it.”

As she spoke, she pulled out her hand grabbed by Matthew’s big hand.

“Is it so important?” Matthew glanced at her hand that grabbed the cell phone in doubt.
